Preparing for International Gin and Tonic Day 2018

It’s actually ‘Marina week’ for us right now and we are back in one of our favourite marinas; the Bundaberg Port Marina. We’ve been doing ‘boat jobs’ at a furious pace at the commencement of our run south to Hobart. We hope to get there by the start of December. Re-provisioning features high on the list of tasks including the ubiquitous trip to Bunnings, Jaycar Electronics and Super Cheap Auto. The latter outlets necessitated a hire car which we shared with our jetty neighbours. To sprinkle some fun with the dull we suggested a visit to the Kalki Moon Distillery which we’d enjoyed the previous year.

We were easily converted to Kalki Moon gin last year during our tour of the distillery on what turned out to be International Gin and Tonic Day 2017. We’ve now made it a gin of choice if we have the opportunity to go to Dan Murphy’s in Queensland, the only stockists we know of. Our taste buds were not cheating us. Just look at the international awards they’ve won in the past year!

Knocking off the British is high praise indeed.

Number 1 Premium Dry Gin in the world 2018

Kylie Prosser, the distillers wife, introduced us to a new drink they released for Mother’s Day this year. It’s a Pink Gin Liqueur. It’s a slightly sweeter drink than a regular G and T with a hint of rose and musk in the flavour. A bit different and it’s PINK - looks like fun. Yup, added that to our other Kalki Moon cellar door purchases too. We’ll be well stocked for the coming International Gin and Tonic Day - October 21st, 2018. What about you?
